I need a setup for Turbo 400 to kick into passing gear, Not sure exactly what I need.

Thanks

Depending on what you are looking for whether it be factory setup or aftermarket.

I just saw one on ebay (don't have the link for it, found it putting 67-72 chevy trucks in the parts section)

Summit and jegs should sell a complte kit with switch for pedal etc.

I think the one on ebay was the kind that hooked up near the carb.

Regards,

Stace

You should have the bracket on pedal. Switch can be bought at dealer or junk yard. Just run a wire from one side of switch to fuse panel (hot only with switch on) and wire from other side to trans switch (drivers side). Here is a picture of switch and bracket.

The earlier trucks used a switch mounted to the carb and the later style was down on the accelerator pedal. I have one of the switches that mounts to the carb if you are interested (for a quadrajet). $35.00 shipped

Here is a pic of the early style that I sold yesterday here on the parts board.

Hey Charlie... I am also in need of the full assembly. So if in your travels you come across 2 by chance please let me know. I am in need of the later style I guess as my truck is a 72.

Thanks

I used the Lokar kit. It works as well or better than the factory unit and you can buy one from most mail order houses.

Do you know if that will fit a Holley ? or what others it might fit?
Thanks
Charlie

I am not sure if it will fit a Holley or not. The Lokar setup is a nice unit though. It mounts down on the trans for a nice clean install.

On the 71/72 all you need is a switch that you can buy at most parts stores....the bracket is already there...on the gas peddle.....you just mount it and run two wires
